React Native

import { JsonObject, MailMan } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const mailman = new MailMan();

  mailman.mailHost = 'outlook.office365.com';
  mailman.mailPort = 995;
  mailman.popSsl = true;

  // Use your O365 email address here.
  mailman.popUsername = 'OFFICE365_EMAIL_ADDRESS';

  // When using OAuth2 authentication, leave the password empty.
  mailman.popPassword = '';

  // Load our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
  const jsonToken = new JsonObject();
  try {
    jsonToken.loadFile('qa_data/tokens/office365.json');
  } catch {
    console.log(jsonToken.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  mailman.oAuth2AccessToken = jsonToken.stringOf('access_token');

  // Make the TLS connection to the outlook.office365.com POP3 server.
  try {
    await mailman.pop3ConnectAsync();

  // Find out how many emails are on the server..
  const numEmails = await mailman.checkMailAsync();
  if (numEmails < 0) {

  // Examine the POP3 session log:
  console.log(mailman.pop3SessionLog);

  // The POP3 session log will look something like this:

  // **** Connected to outlook.office365.com:995
  // < +OK The Microsoft Exchange POP3 service is ready. [QwBIADIAUABSADEAOABD...YwBvAG0A]

  // End the POP3 session and close the connection to the GMail server.
